Less Expensive Walls & Lvl 12 Mine

I'm sure you get this a lot but I really would like to discuss the amount of time and money (both in-game and in real life) people are spending on walls alone in Clash of Clans. I did some calculations on walls and it would take 2,205,300,000 gold to upgrade all walls to Level 11 from Level 1. Now alone it's not that bad, but with maxed out mines (Level 11) it would take 13.98 years to get this much gold. What a lot of people are doing when they need such high level walls is to buy gems, I get that you would like to make profit from this but it's not fair to the people that aren't getting sponsored or don't have the extra money. To gem to the maxed out walls you would need to spend $600. So to fix this 'problem' that Clashers are struggling with could you please spend the time to work out either lower prices on walls or more levels for the gold mines.

I sent an email like this to SuperCell, us Clashers need higher mines to work with walls and other expensive buildings! I think that there should be a level 12 & 13 mine.

Lvl 12: x1.5 of production compared to lvl 11
Lvl 13: x2.0 of production compared to lvl 11

Hey Budfly, there's a lot to comment on here. I'll try to be as short and clear as possible.

First off, I'm not going to verify your math, I'll assume it's fine. However the math isn't the main point here, it's the fact that your calculations are based off of the fact that a person NEVER earns any resources from raiding, and also NEVER loses any resources from being raided. This is a major flaw.

The game is not meant to be played that way (i.e. SC does not expect you to play this game for 14 years just to get maxed level walls). You certain can play it that way, it is totally your prerogative. However, this game is a TON more fun when you actually raid other bases, and you will notice how much FASTER and EFFICIENTLY you can gain resources by doing so. This is how players who don't spend a dime on this game that have been playing this game for a little over a year can have all their walls up to level 9 or level 10, not that far off from the max level 11 walls! No money spent on gems, no gemming walls, just pure effective RAIDING of other players. It's easy to believe that a smart and effective raider can go from all level 1 walls to all maxed level 11 walls in less than 2 years of playing this game without spending a single penny. This is a conservative estimate too, I'm sure some hard core people spending many hours a day farming gold can do this in much less than 2 years.

This is getting long, sorry.

My other 2 points:

1) you don't NEED to reach max level walls in this game, just because they are offered. Many people do extremely well with only level 7 and 8 walls, no one says you HAVE to max out your walls to be effective.

2) Throughout your clashing days (especially later into TH9 and TH10), you will find that having walls left to upgrade is a blessing in disguise. Let me explain why. If you raid often, you can easily earn more gold thank your storages can hold. So what do you do then? You dump that gold into your incomplete walls so that you can go on and raid more hold without having your storages overflow and wasting gold that can't be collected. In a similar way, before you go to bed you may be holding a ton of gold with no builders free to dump it into an upgrade. So what do you do? Dump it into walls once again, which protects your gold from being raided! Better to dump it into walls than let an attacker steal it from you :)

To sum it up, it's a good thing walls cost so much. If it takes you too long to build them up, don't buy gems, just raid bases more often, earning more gold than you get from mines. Mines should only be a supplementary gold income source. Raiding is where the real money is at. So raid more! Good luck.

Yeah, you're right that you get a lot of loot from raiding. Sorry I forgot that
